I have autistic kindergarteners that picked it up and it's become one of their favorite scripts. Kind of annoying but I didn't really care that much. Knowing it annoys this little freak though? Gotta say I'm warming up to it.

Nobody has to take shit from a furniture fucker with a orange mustache stain.
Pussy Throat! These Russian agents are really going the Deep Throat route...
“Pussy throat” is too wordy. I suggest we call it his “thrunt.”

And 6x7 is 42, so now every generation can be happy.
This is my response as well.
Makes even more sense when you consider how they say it as "six seven" not "sixty seven" so it would imply notational (6)(7).
To day I learned that 6 7 is the police code for non-consensual sex with a couch.

This just in: adults don’t get kids’ memes. More news at 11.
I think it’s all fascinating, how adults flip out over kids’ trends every generation, without fail, without ever recalling that they followed silly fads/memes when they were kids, too. Like the “cool S” from the 90s.
I remember adults coming up with all sorts of absurd ideas, straining to connect it to something meaningful, failing to acknowledge that… it’s just a fun thing to draw. And if it’s fun, that’s all kids need. It didn’t mean we were in a cult, or that it’s a gang symbol, or any other ridiculous narrative. Some teachers got so annoyed or suspicious as to ban it from their classrooms, too.
I’m not bothered by 6-7. I’m not excited by it like kids are, but I get that it’s fun for them in a way that it isn’t for adults. One of the kids I work with said it the other day. I just laughed and told him, “Congrats on learning your first meme.”
If it wasn’t 6-7, it would’ve been something else. There’s no point in fighting it - just as other fads and memes have come and gone, this too will fade someday. Possibly to be replaced with something more obnoxious. We’ll have to wait and see.
Exactly. Do I find it annoying? No, but if I interacted with children much I probably would. Kids are annoying, but stuff like this is culturally valuable because it's them practicing growing and changing culture. Things that annoy the old people like us are also part of how teenagers get us to leave them alone so they can grow up in peace. From there younger and younger kids copy older kids because that's how kids work. Then eventually the parents and teachers that understand kids will get in on it poorly when they're well and truly sick of it.
Hell, every once in a while the kids get into something good, though it's usually music or books.
When we were kids all of our viral trends at least had an origin story.
Like that one where Marilyn manson removed some ribs so he could fuck his couch better.
Streisand effect, fucking idiot ruined any chances of it going away now..
I feel like 6-7 is just another version of the made you look hand gesture.

It's the best meme I've ever heard now. Watch me put it 6 7 times in every comment.
... Wait no. I can't if you're watching.
Funny. I'm from the seventies and when we were daydreaming back then about the year 2025.... we saw people flying around in transparent bubbles, living in full harmony in futuristic scifi buildings... Who could have thought we would be thrown back in time almost perfectly similar to the nazi regime of the Germans and dangerous idiots like that Orange Satan and its dog Fence being "chosen" as the most important people of a country... It's devolution.
I vote for recolonisation. This one has failed.
There are exactly 67 seperate Epstein files still to be released
So Americans should now count 65, 66, 68, 69? At least this is in line with measuring things with non-metric units.

This might be the only time I will enjoy hearing 67..
"Oh no, a number, that's threatening the greatness of the US and we must act immediately!"
- Some couch fucker, probably
That was my number in high school football.
What was? 🤭
Why do we care what the vice president thinks? Shouldn't he be meeting with a ladies book club or attending a donor's funeral somewhere? Is he just spouting crap and waiting and hoping for someone's death?
I am speechless, how can it all be so absurd. How do they come up with even more stupid ideas than before every single day.

I still don't get what 67 refers to. I missed it'd orgin story!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=laZpTO7IFtA is worth the 15 minutes, but the TL;DW is that the kids are just using it as an in-joke marker (i.e. the phrase is a shibboleth), but its origin is in lyrics* by the rapper Skrilla referring to police codes for a dead body.
* are rapped words lyrics?
Just as an aside, most police codes aren't really standardized across different agencies.
There's a handful of 10-codes that are pretty much universal, like "10-4"
67 isn't one of those codes. A lot of departments do use it for a report of a death
But it's also commonly used to advise of an important incoming message
And other agencies may have other uses for it
And other agencies use other systems besides 10 codes, I believe some departments in CA have been known to use penal code numbers
But so because of that, there's been a big movement in emergency service to use plain language over codes for the last decade or two, mostly since Katrina since different agencies using different codes lead to a lot of miscommunication there.
I work in 911 dispatch, at my agency and pretty much everywhere around me it's all plain language. One or two 10-codes linger around, more as informal slang than anything that gets official use. 10-4 sometimes gets used, but that's practically just part of the English language now.
10-96 also kind of lingers around in my agency, which in the set of 10-codes they used before I started was for a subject with mental health issues. We're not really supposed to use it but no one has really come up with a better shorthand for it so it still pops up from time to time, mostly from our officers.
Interesting stuff, thanks for writing it up.
I did know that US codes weren't standardised, partially because the video covers it - perhaps I should have phrased it as "a police code" to be more technically correct. Edit: or bothered to check the video so could have written "Philadelphia police code" - but then I would have missed out on your reply.
Funnily enough, I actually work in an agency that's very close to Philly and deal with my counterparts in the city fairly regularly.
I don't get (or want) to listen to a whole lot of PPD radio chatter, we have plenty in our own county to keep us busy, so I don't know for certain if they're actually still using 10-codes or any other similar system or not. I can't think of any time I've heard a Philly officer or dispatcher use one with me, but it's certainly possible that they're still in use there internally.
Also even though we're using plain language, there's still some weird miscommunication that happens.
I remember one time needing to advise Philly of a report of gunshots we received that might have been relevant to them, it was near their border.
So I called over to their dispatch and advised them that "we received a report of shots fired in the area of..."
Which kind of sent their dispatcher into a bit of a tizzy because in Philly dispatch lingo "shots fire" basically means an officer has fired their gun, but to us it's just any report of gunshots (which, more often than not, means fireworks or something that the caller mistook for gunshots)

Genuinely have no idea what 67 means and if I wait a year until they tire of it then I won't have to learn.
It dosen't mean anything. Asking what that mean if what reveal that you're not in the know.

Conservatives when something harmless is popular: "This needs to be criminalised".
If it isn't a couch he probably wants to ban it.
I was mildly annoyed by them, but now I think it's time we go full tilt on them.
Party of personal freedom and free speech y'all
I for one believe people should have the freedom to be annoying.
